Ability to group members of PDS for doing one common action

Currently, ISPF does not offer an option to mark the group of members and then choose the action for the selected members on such panels as ISRUDA1 (Option 3.1) and ISRUDSM (Option 3.4 and then select a PDS). It would be very handy to have the select tool to mark the start and end of the group of members, and then request one common action (e.g., delete them all)

    You do have some ability to group members using name masking, but it depends what your 'grouping' criteria are.

    In 3.4 you can put an edit command against a PDS/PDSE to select members using masking so only the matching members are displayed.
    e.g.

    E /(ABC*)

    or

    E /(A%C*)

    And then you can enter your DELETE command as a block command against the list by putting the below at the top and bottom members of the list.

    //D
